MIA had participated in the ACA Programme from organized by ACI and accredited with Level 2 since 2014, with the target set as “Reduce Carbon Emissions per Movement by 20% in 2018 compared to 2012 Level”. Through continuous effort, to reduce emissions, MIA had reduced 40% of carbon emissions per aircraft movement in 2018 compared to that of 2012.

In 2019, MIA had set another target “Reduce Carbon Emissions per Movement by 30% in 2028 from 2018 Level” and revised our Carbon Management Plan. MIA started to implement more environmental projects and measures that can be done to achieve the target, such as replacement of aging chillers with energy efficient ones in the Passenger Terminal Building, LED light replacement projects in various areas within MIA, replacement of aging vehicles with low or no emission vehicles, and look for opportunities to recycle more wastes originated from daily operations in MIA. With the implementation of green projects and measures, as well as the concerted efforts of the relevant entities, the relative carbon emissions in 2024 has been reduced by 21.9% as compared with the relative carbon emissions in 2023.

In order to achieve further carbon reduction, starting from 2024, MIA had been preparing for upgrading to ACA Level 3 accreditation, which involved the participation of Airport Operators in carbon reduction. MIA has defined a new reduction target was set as “Reduce Carbon Emissions per Movement by 20% in 2034 from 2024 Level”. The Carbon Management Plan was also updated with additional projects in areas such as increasing fuel efficiency and enhancing waste management. Moreover, the Airport Environmental Management Programme was also developed to illustrate our close collaboration with the Airport Operators in carbon reduction and implementing environmental measures.
